Looking for a pup

[Cometfball55]

Me and my girlfriend are looking to get a dog in the next few months. We are looking for a medium to large dog, smart, and likes to play. We are thinking of a pit mix or boxer type of dog, any advice on breeds?

i love boxers! But they need a lot of excersise! They are very loyal, great with kids, just a great dog. They have some medical issues so educate yourself on them before you make a decision. good luck with what ever breed you choose. OH, rescue a dog, one of the best things I have ever done!

 

[Cometfball55]

I've heard really great things about boxers other than the health issue, my girlfriend really likes pits, but I'm not a big fan of them. To compromise, I was thinking of a pit/boxer mix. I'm really interested in hearing personal experiences about other breeds. We really want to find the perfect dog to have with us and enjoy the beach life.

Pits are great and easy to find in animal control shelters I paid $75 for my pit puppy from a kill shelter and he is the best pet I've ever owned you just have to socialize them with other animals and people and use positive reinforcement training and you will have a great pet if you spend the time with them hell mine plays with the neighbors rabbits and cats he has a lot better attention span while training than most boxers do also

A Newfoundland. They don't shed and are hypoallergenic
If you are gonna adopt any good dog that needs a home.

Thanks for the input, definitely doing my research. The Newfoundlands are huge, might be a little more dog than we're looking for, but I think we're going to go with a Pitt, just have to figure out what kind.

Blue heeler! Very energetic, sweet, and playful, plus they are easy on the shedding.

I have a bouvier des Flanders. One of the most affectionate dogs you will ever meet. He's about 120lbs so he is a large dog, but they are a great breed and would reccomend them to anyone that wants a dog that size.

I had to look that one up, very nix looking dog. I wonder if I have seen those before and mistaken it for that large Scottish dog, assuming I didn't invent a larger vision if that Scottish dog in my had.

Maybe, they aren't the most common dog in the world but I have seen a couple other people who own them in my area. I think it might have won a big dog show within the past year or 2 as well. I have the grey brindle color personally but would have liked a black one. But the key is when picking a puppy out not to get a timid one, and the black one was very timid and shy.

I'm a boxer fan myself, they are very loyal very protective of my children but do require a lot of exercise. Look into them you can't go wrong.

i've always had pit bulls. i have 2 now. pit bulls are not to small & they aren't to big. i have an all blue 56lbs male pit & a 40lbs. female pit.
pit bulls are very loyal, energetic, loving, good with the family, very strong. mine are goofy & kinda sux as guard dogs. i've had all my pits around kids.
you hear the bad stories about pits. all dogs have teeth. there are more dog bites from toy dogs & other breeds but that doesn't make it to the news.

i might get another dog breed some day, but ill always have 1 - 3 pits in the house.

remember: if it ain't pit, it ain't shit.

Best advice ever!! Visit any kill shelter in your area first no matter what kind of breed you are looking for!!! The shelter I sometimes volunteer at accept pit's but they will not adopt them out.
